Also, with exits a hot button in the Amazon FBA world, there is a lot of buzz about the value of an FBA Business.

Amazon consultants are abuzz with how to increase value by spending more money, time, and effort on such things as marketing, influencing, branding, etc. Maximizing available FBA reimbursements is one of the easiest ways to increase the overall valuation of an Amazon business.

Here is a case study of how an effective recovery of FBA reimbursements can potentially help an exit process.

The Viability of the Business

This Amazon FBA business generated $18 million in revenue per year, selling on Amazon alone.

The company grew to a sizeable operation and leveraged great marketing and a robust business framework to see this type of growth.

In terms of Amazon, the client had an exemplary Amazon FBA listing. The images in the listing were high-quality and fell in line with Amazon’s terms of service.

In terms of the organization, they had a healthy business model employing a range of staff and a proper hierarchy, including an executive level in place. Their accounting books were well maintained, and the company had grown at a healthy and stable rate.

Preparing the Amazon FBA Audit

In this client’s particular case, they were self-managing FBA reimbursements on their own. They hired a virtual assistant versed in Amazon to a certain degree, and this VA submitted their Amazon claims and FBA reimbursements on their behalf.

When GETIDA performed the full Amazon audit going back 18 months, it was noted that many Amazon claims had gone unanswered or were entirely missed in the process. Although the VA had seemingly done a great job managing FBA reimbursements, it was noted that the experienced lacked in knowing which Amazon audit to perform and how to present the Amazon claims to Amazon.

GETIDA performed a full audit of each claim type as follows:

• Returns
• Warehouse
• Accounting
• Inventory Levels
• Shipping

We submitted all necessary documentation on the client’s behalf to complete each Amazon claim, and we filed the Amazon FBA reimbursements.

Results of the Amazon Audit

GETIDA found that out of roughly 318,00 units of inventory, almost 9,000 units were affected by a discrepancy. Of those 9,000 units, GETIDA was able to provide reimbursement for 3,634 units of inventory.

That’s nearly 3% of this client’s inventory!

GETIDA recovered $151,172.59 in FBA reimbursements on the client’s behalf.
